How about Gerald Johnson. He was Steve Miller's bass player in the 70's & 80's. There is a King Biscuit double album with disc 1 recorded live in 1973 & disc 2 live in 1975 or 76. These recordings capture the band at their best! Gerald Johnson lays down some incredible bass!

Allen Woody!

George Porter Jr!

Andy Frazier! (Kossoff was one of the greatest guitarists ever! Go get Free Live!)

Paul McCartney! Insane stuff with the Beatles. I'm always blown away with what Paul was doing back in the 1960's. Very technical bass lines. Not your common rythm guy.

Felix Papalardi- MOUNTAIN! There are some great live CD's from 1969-1974!

Somewhere in this thread around two years ago I remember mentioning that there hasn't been too many great female bass players other than Tina Weymouth and a few others in recent times. Well, we can now add Esparanza Spalding to the list. I'm hoping to see her play in London next month.
